Manufactured in 2003, Poland. 22 Frets. Volume and tone controls. 5-way selector. SSH pickup configuration. Schaller passive Pickups. String-thru body. Non locking Gotoh tuners. Mine is whole black. A little Ibanez-style looking. Really nice :)
Sound
:

I use it mainly for general metal. Sometimes an Opeth style, sometimes a Slipknot one. It have a really nice sound. Suprising good as for 300$ guitar. SSH configuration is really universal. Used on Fender EightyFive, Marshall vs8100, Custom made Mesa amp with 4x12 cabinet. I`am planning to buy an active humbucker, and put it under bridge, for stronger disortion.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Pickups, and whole guitar were adiustet preety nice. Low string action, but not to low. When i first saw it in music shop it had an flaw on a neck- about 5 mm scratch. Guitar was sent back to manufacturer for neck change. (for free of course ;) ). The fretboard have nice drawing of barbed wire on it.
Reliability/Durability
:

The major flaw of this guitar was a bridge- probably bad made. It caused strings to break really easy. Sometimes even after the week. (D`addario strings). Brigde was sent to manufacturer, and replaced with brand new Gotoh one. (for free). After year of using (dec 2004) guitar dont show any signs of wearing off (exept scratches on pickups caused by pick strikes).

Iam using it as the only guitar since september 2003. I`am really satisfied with it. I realy like the way it looks, and sounds. The price was preety low. If it were lost or stolen i would buy it again. Iam planning some minor upgrades - active pickups. Strong 7 :)
